Package: mlocate Version: 0.18-2 Severity: wishlist I'd like to be able to say something like:
PRUNENAMES=".bzr .git" ... in updatedb.conf to stop updatedb indexing revision control metadata that tends to consist of lots of small files with barely-meaningful names that I never want to find using locate. Unfortunately it seems that I can only prune exact full paths, not components. It looks like findutils used to support this by interpreting PRUNEPATHS as regexes which it passed to find, although I never needed this feature when I was still using updatedb from findutils. Apparently neither slocate nor mlocate supports this. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
